Documentation: add description for net.core.gro_normal_batch

Describe it in admin-guide/sysctl/net.rst like other Network core options.
Users need to know gro_normal_batch for performance tuning.

+gro_normal_batch
+----------------
+
+Maximum number of the segments to batch up on output of GRO. When a packet
+exits GRO, either as a coalesced superframe or as an original packet which
+GRO has decided not to coalesce, it is placed on a per-NAPI list. This
+list is then passed to the stack when the number of segments reaches the
+gro_normal_batch limit.
